The hotel had small and somewhat noisy rooms, but they were clean and cozy, perfect for the price. The service was fairly friendly and accommodating. The location was fantastic, very central and close to city activities. The dining was lackluster with minimal options. Overall, a decent stay for the price.

I stayed at the hotel for a weekend and had a mixed experience. The location was convenient for transportation and getting around, but the noise from the nearby mall's dustbin truck in the early hours of the morning was quite disruptive. The rooms were small and lacked proper handwashing facilities, offering a view directly into another room. Despite some inconveniences and noise, the service was a standout positive, with a friendly cleaning lady making the stay more enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The room, which was a corner suite, lacked amenities like a work surface or a microwave/small fridge. The view looked out over the street with motorcycle parking, and earplugs were provided just in case. The sink in the bedroom and the lack of natural light from the windows facing another building was a downside.

The hotel had some drawbacks like rooms without air conditioning or safes, with small bathrooms and windows opening into enclosed spaces. The noisy atmosphere of people partying, yelling, and slamming doors all night was a major downside. However, the cleaning lady was super friendly and prompt, and the service was generally pleasant and service-oriented. The location was conveniently close to various attractions like Moscone Center and Union Square, but there were comments about it being a bit rough. The dining options were limited but acceptable in terms of pricing and location. Overall, the facilities matched the price point of around $200 for an overnight stay.

The hotel provides compact rooms filled with sufficient amenities that were surprisingly quiet despite the hotel's age. The location is quite central, near public transport and shopping, but with some noise and vagabond presence. The dining options are limited to simple choices, and the service leans towards being friendly and helpful.

The hotel is ideally located in the center of all the shops, making it convenient for travelers. While the rooms may get too hot and are compact, they are suitable for solo travelers or couples on a sightseeing spree. The staff is attentive and friendly, offering early check-in if needed. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but the freshly baked bread was a nice touch. The hotel's location near public transport and attractions makes it a great value for money.
